  • 1/2 tsp. plus 1/8 tsp. sea salt, divided
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Zest 1 orange
  • 4 Tbsp. orange juice, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme, divided
  • 3 Tbsp. whole wheat panko bread crumbs
  • 3 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
  1. Arrange 1 rack in upper third and 1 rack in lower third of oven.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  3. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  4. Divide potatoes evenly among sheets.
  5. Toss each sheet of potatoes with 1/2 Tbsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. of salt and pepper. Spread potatoes in single layer and put one sheet in upper and one sheet in lower third of oven.
  6. Roast for 10 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together orange zest, juice and honey.
  8. Remove potatoes from oven and drizzle with orange juice mixture, dividing evenly.
  9. Toss to coat and spread potatoes in a single layer.

  11. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil on medium low in a large skillet. Add onion and season with remaining 1/8 tsp. salt and pepper.
  12. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, lightly browned and caramelized, 15-18 minutes. ( If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerate potatoes and onions in separate containers and bring to room temperature before proceeding with next step.)
  13. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  14. In an 11 x 7 baking dish gently combine potatoes, remaining 2 Tbsp. orange juice and 1 1/2 tsp. thyme and spread evenly.
  15. Layer onions, panko, and cheese over top.

  17. Let cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp. thyme.
  18. Serve hot or at room temperature.
